After hearing your report and another report from a friend who did the 100 miler, I am impressed!

I wanted to do a beach trip with my SO. We went to Mc Clure's beach (Pt Reyes) and enjoyed the waves, children playing, and the birds. On the way out we saw plenty of cyclists suffering through the heat (think Nicasio and Lucas Valley). I was glad I had ridden earlier in my area before it got so nasty.

We've had an up and down summer this year- hot a coule of days and then back to cool. Hard to do heat training in that kind of environment. On the other hand, I"ve enjoyed the cool days for hard rides.

Let's see what AKA Kim has to say!
